British Standards Institution - BS102000 : Code of Practice for the Provision of Investigative Services
|
BS102000 Code of Practice for the Provision of Investigative Services, is considered a highly respected, premier standard for investigative service providers in the UK, often regarded as a benchmark for quality and professionalism in an otherwise largely unregulated industry. As the UK private investigation sector does not have mandatory statutory licensing, BS102000 serves as a voluntary, rigorous standard that reputable firms adopt to prove their competence, legal compliance, and ethical standards. Euro-Tec has held this certification since its inception in 2013 with areas of good practice raised by auditors, and every audit passed with zero non-conformities. Why BS102000 is respected? - Evidence of Quality and Compliance: Certification to BS102000 demonstrates that a company adheres to strict guidelines regarding data protection (GDPR), human rights, and legal compliance. - Independent Verification: Certification is awarded by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited bodies, such as SSAIB, which requires independent, annual external audits. - Best Practice Standards: The standard covers key operational areas, including the planning of investigations, surveillance techniques, information management, compliance, training, knowledge of relevant legislation and due diligence. - Industry Endorsement: It is strongly supported by industry bodies, the Government and the legal profession, who view it as a key indicator of a firm’s commitment to high standards. - Legal and Ethical Focus: It helps ensure investigations are conducted with integrity, reducing the risk of using “rogue” investigators who might break the law. Key Aspects of the Standard (2018 Edition): The 2018 revision updated the 2013 version to cover modern investigative needs, including: - Screening: Staff are vetted to BS7858 standards. - Data Handling: Compliance with GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. - Surveillance: Strict guidelines on ethical, legal, and proportionate surveillance. - Accountability: A clear, documented, and transparent process for handling client complaints. |
